Month: August 2012

The Paper Players Challenge ends in 20 minutes but I wanted to try their challenge this week. I used all SU products that included the Ronald McDonald Charities stamp set Moving Forward. A portion of the purchase price for this set is donated to the charity.

I decided to start doing a few challenges! What a great way to get my creative juices flowing. I found I was able to think of new ideas when I was given a jumpstart on the MojoMonday blogspot. Thank you for the inspiration! Be sure to look for more cards soon with this cool stamp!

We had such a fun time at the Stampin’ Up Convention! The General Sessions were awesome. To see my husband genuinely interested in my hobby was wonderful. We both strolled the halls going to workshops, looking at the displays, and watching the demonstrations of products. Jim found his creative side and made his first card that he ultimately sent to my bestie stamping pal Wendy’s husband who truly appreciated it.

Imagine the look on my face when I opened my birthday gift this year from my husband to find a card I made! But an even bigger surprise lurked inside the card…a handmade gift certificate for two with the words “Stampin’ Up Convention 2012- Salt Lake City ” on it. I was amazed but not entirely surprised at his generous gift (he’s such a sweetheart) ! I immediately thought the tickets were for me and my bestie stamping pal, Wendy. But I was wrong and even more astonished that HE was going!!
